Parathreads: Polkadot Connectivity for Everyone By: Joe Petrowski

Parathreads open up the parachain paradigm, lowering the barrier to gaining the benefits of shared security and connectivity. Polkadot is now even more accessible to projects that may not have the capital to secure a dedicated parachain slot and gives the opportunity to become a parachain if their application requires high throughput. Although parachains can borrow DOTs from users via a crowd-loan, they may not have the community to start. Using parathreads, any development team can get access to the relay chain and bootstrap their application.
